Photography of Monica Denevan

Yesterday I went for the SF Open Studios and saw a breathtaking photography exhibit by Monica Denevan, who photographed the human form during her trips to Burma.

The sheer technical brilliance, original composition and seamless blending of the human form into the environment was truly exceptional and she provides a welcome relief from the more pastoral works presented by other photographers at the Open Studios.

On a completely different level were the dreamy and somewhat haunting photographs of Pep Ventosa, who collages hundreds of singular snapshots of one scene into phantasmagoric and psychedellic creations, almost alter egos of the original scene. Shown here is my personal favourite – The Road to Monument Valley.
